'''Genesect''' ''(ゲノセクト Genosect)'' is a dual-type {{Type|Bug}}/{{Type|Steel}}-[[Types|type]] [[Generation V]] [[Mythical Pokémon]]. Genesect was an ancient Pokémon which most people say came from [[Kabutops]] due to its Pokédex entries matching that of Genesect's. Genesect came to be due to heavy experimentation by [[Team Plasma]], turning it into a robotic creature with a cannon on its back. However, [[N]] abandoned the project saying that any Pokémon altered by science is "impure." The scientist working on the project, angered by N's decision, quit Team Plasma, created a [[P2 Laboratory|lab]], and continued altering Genesect until it escaped and was never seen again. Genesect's "signature move," Techno Blast, is altered by Hold Items called Drives that can change its type. The four drives are the [[Burn Drive]], [[Douse Drive]], [[Shock Drive]] and [[Chill Drive]], and make the move's type Fire, Water, Electric, and Ice, respectively. An interesting note is that this Pokémon is impossible to get in [[Shiny Pokémon]] quality because the only way to get it was through Wi-Fi events.

*If the player takes a Genesect to the [[P2 Laboratory]] and shows it to the scientist there, he will battle the player. If the player wins, the scientist gives him/her two out of the four drives, with the two being different depending on the version of the game. The Genesect must be from the event or it will not work, if you got it by hacks then you will battle the scientist but you will not get the drives.
